An introductory speech to the conference on launch bases and control infrastructures for spacecraft is presented. The launch bases are described as representing the central knot of the organization which has the success of the mission as its goal. The programmatic and commercial context of future years is seen as necessary in related studies. The commercial success of the Ariane programs is summarized. Launch measures are seen as part of space commercialization and are interpreted as industrialization efforts and rationalization of firing ranges; studies of new bases in the U.S., Australia and Brazil; modernization of the Kourou launch base in French Guiana and existing U.S. bases.
